OPENING LOG.

Characters: Everyone!
Date: August 11th
Rating/Warnings: Nothing as of yet. Mark anything that qualifies a warning in your subject line!
Summary: Arrivals.
You want happiness. A company called RECOVERjoy has offered it to you, so you've signed up with them. Gaining happiness can't hurt, right?

Suddenly you're in a room, an apartment, with three other beds and unfamiliar faces. This is your assigned room, and it's quite crowded. You don't get much of a chance to think as your phone beeps--it's not your phone, maybe you've never had a phone, but there's one in your hand so you check it. It's a smart phone, nothing special about it, but now you've received a text from RECOVERjoy.

Welcome to Joywick! We're so happy to have you!

You've arrived in your assigned room, we hope you like it! Don't worry, you can move out once you've collected enough joypoints. Speaking of, if you'd like to check your balance, there's a special application that tracks it for you right on your phone! Handy, right?

... Did you check? If you did, you'll notice you have no joypoints. But don't despair! We're giving you a special mission. Make three (3) friends and get 200 joypoints! Gee, that's easy! Of course, we can't put a level on something like friendship, so just get to know people. Don't miss out on these easy points! We'll give you more information about joypoints once you're done.

Wishing you happiness,
RECOVERjoy : )


You're in this for 1 million joypoints, aren't you? Might as well get started.

(AFTER THE MISSION HAS BEEN ACCOMPLISHED OR ONCE 24 HOURS HAVE PASSED)

You receive another text from RECOVERjoy.

Great job on the mission! Or not so great job for those who didn't do it. : (

Well, you probably want more joypoints either way. Here's how! Look for another person. I bet they look fairly happy, right? Why are they happier than you? Because they've got the joypoints you need! The only way to get those joypoints is to steal theirs. How? Take their happiness away. It's easy! Maybe a rumor here, an injury there... but if you want the big points, be creative!
You want to be happy, don't you?

Wishing you happiness,
RECOVERjoy : )


... Not quite what you expected when you signed up. You can't leave, though, you still owe RECOVERjoy 500 joypoints and, well, you came here for a reason.

There's no way this --

[ And Neku reaches over to the wall, snatching the little sign free and shoving it in this weirdo's face. ] -- stupid prank would make me scream.

[ AND THEN HE TEARS THE NOTE INTO LITTLE BITS.

and throws the little bits on the floor.

... he barely manages to restrain himself from stomping on the bits. Just to make a point. ]
partnered: (71)

DONE.

[personal profile] partnered 2012-08-11 07:20 pm (UTC)(link)
There. Now no one else has to deal with this.

[ And he folds his arms across his chest, huffing. ]

[ OH NO WHAT SHOULD HE DO HERE.

Neku can't help but cast a helpless look around -- like maybe Beat or Shiki will appear magically and swoop in to comfort her properly, since he's obviously doing such a spectacular failure of a job. ... but when it's obvious things are... up to him, he... returns the hug a little stiffly, like he's not exactly sure how hugs work. ]

[That's strange, but it takes all folks, right?]

Doesn't look like it. Ah, have you been out of the building yet?
partnered: (17)

[personal profile] partnered 2012-08-11 07:26 pm (UTC)(link)
[ And when it still feels like he should be doing something else, he settles for... patting her back.

He's doing his absolute best here, okay. ]
I -- ... look, whatever it is, it's okay. We'll figure it out, all right? So just, uh... don't. Don't cry.

[ WALK WALK WALK

-- And then he's turning back to face Marx, annoyed. ]


Stop following me. I'm not going to be friends with you, so give up already.

[She eventually stops crying, resorting to sniffles instead, attempting to pull away from him.]

I-I'm sorry...it's just...how can you not remember? It was right after we all met up at Hachiko after the Game when he...you know...

『You're an impatient bastard, aren't you?

Some people are a little more resilient than others, and need to stand on brittle foundations before you knock the struts out from under them. A well-timed blow is often more effective than striking first.』

( He smiles. It's freaking scary. )

[Someone is sensitive.

Yotsuya bears the brunt of this RECKLESS DESTRUCTION OF PROPERTY with only one taken aback kind of--wheezing noise, like he can't believe that actually happened.

No respect...!]


Why would you-- no, no. I understand. [he puts a hand over his chest and bows his head, closing his eyes, the picture of sincerity] I take it back.
sockswithsandals: (NUH UH GURL)

[personal profile] sockswithsandals 2012-08-11 07:32 pm (UTC)(link)
[A beat, then he cracks one eye open and his too-many-teeth grin peels its way back across his face.]

That was a terrible scream.

[personal profile] heyheyhey 2012-08-11 07:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Not even for joypoints? I thought you want to change what went wrong in your world.

[You don't get to hurt anyone in this mission, so why ignore the chance to get free points? You won't have this opportunity again, that's for sure]

[ He lets go when he feels her trying to pull away, arms dropping uselessly back to his sides.

-- Of course, her next question hits him like a pail of cold water to the face, and he jerks with surprise. ]
Wha --
partnered: (45)

[personal profile] partnered 2012-08-11 07:38 pm (UTC)(link)
What -- ? I...

... met up after the game? What're you talking about? We never -- [ He's shaking his head, honest confusion written all over his face. ] ... we never had the chance.
sockswithsandals: (teehee gurl we frands u kno)

[personal profile] sockswithsandals 2012-08-11 07:40 pm (UTC)(link)
[This is calm--! He presses a hand over his jaw, to stop himself giggling about... screams... then waves her comment away dismissively.]

I'm not concerned about that. I just want to hear the screams.

[Exactly. He doesn't plan on backstabbing anyone just yet - rapport has to be built up for the effect to be worth it.

He doesn't buy her looking that unnerved though, not when she's contemplating it.

That or he doesn't care.]


I'll suggest 10 joypoints, but then you'll bargain for 7, so we can say 7 and it's a deal.

[There may be a faintfaint smirk on his lips.]

[ He tenses up at that, hands clenching into fists. ] I --

[ Bingo, Marx. You hit the nail on the head. ]

Re: Park, on the swing set

[personal profile] heyheyhey 2012-08-11 07:42 pm (UTC)(link)
[Marx didn't choose to sneak up on her, since he had done that already with Neku. He did however sat on an empty swing beside Rhyme and began swinging while humming a tune.]
carsharkkonishi: (there is no stupid questions)

[personal profile] carsharkkonishi 2012-08-11 07:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, we did.[She seems twice as confused as he is.]

What are you even talking about, Neku? You won. We got restored to life. We all met up at Hachiko.
carsharkkonishi: (Fear is stronger than love)

[personal profile] carsharkkonishi 2012-08-11 07:46 pm (UTC)(link)
[She stares at him for a moment, sniffling, before working up some kind of courage to say something.]

H-hi?

[personal profile] gatto 2012-08-11 07:46 pm (UTC)(link)
[He looks up, frowning in thought, without changing his position.] Maybe...

But it could get pretty chaotic, y'know? I dunno if you wanna let everyone do what they want.

[Even Igura had its limits, after all.]

[personal profile] kingshizuchan 2012-08-11 07:47 pm (UTC)(link)
[Right! All sorts of different types want to be happy, after all.]

Not yet. Figured I'd see what they had first.

[Which seemed to amount to... Not much.]

[personal profile] heyheyhey 2012-08-11 07:48 pm (UTC)(link)
[The jester smiled. Is he about to hit a home run?]

Let's make a deal. You become my friend and I'll leave you alone for a week, okay?
gatto: (pic#4360187)

[personal profile] gatto 2012-08-11 07:51 pm (UTC)(link)
[He grins at her, hands on his hips.]

Me neither. But I dunno if you're gonna get any money like that!

[personal profile] heyheyhey 2012-08-11 07:52 pm (UTC)(link)
[He stopped his humming, turning his head to face the girl while still swinging on his swing]

Hey hey hey, don't be so down! Swing with me!
